    Artist statement

    This work is not simply a depiction of a cow standing in a Texas field, but rather a more fundamental question about human existence. For this, I used Genesis as the underlying context. Creatures, once sheltered in a protected space where they were in direct contact with the intense and undeniable reality of the Creator, were cast out. Leaving paradise behind forever, they had no choice but to depart. This separation led them into a dry and lonely land, where they now stand alone in an open field. And the horns that grew out of that loneliness have begun to pierce beyond the frame, breaking through its boundaries.
